Bloody Vandals
« on: 01 February 2009, 15:08:36 »

Parked my recovery truck outside the house last night and folded the mirrors in so they wouldn't get hit by other motors passing. Goes out this morning and what's happened, some bastard has pulled the mirror out on the pavement side and smashed it to bits. Even left a dent in the wing where it hit so hard. Fortunatly the omega which wa parked in front was left unscathed but the point is that nobody these days has any respect for other peoples property. Phoned the law to make them aware but was just told it was probaly a drunk and the chance of cathing them was very slim. Told the boss which pissed him off just pleased that he didn't blame me for it. I offered to go halves for a new one but he said it was fine and he would sort it out what a nice man

Some arsehole who can't drive clouted the tractor's mirror on friday night whilst I was parked outside her folks house.  Had I seen who'd done it, I would have educated the tosspots.

Knowing that area, probably some dozy old biddy

i had to put sercurity cameras around my property cause of the theiving gits in my area
they all run on a computer so all recordings get stored on the hdd
the cameras are motion sensitive so they only record when there is movement

good picture at night as well as the camera shows in black and white but you an still see everything clearly
there is an option that you can view the cameras from somewhere else if your not at home so you can check round your property when your away from home

the things we have to do to keep an eye on our property

its a dvr card that you put in a pci slot of a pc mother board
i use a program called pico 2000
i can have up to 4 dvr cards in a mother board at 1 time each card can handle 4 cameras at 25 frames per second which is very close to real time
if you are ever in the area your welcome to come take a look
there are lots of options in the program
only need an old computer and load windows 2000 on as windows 2000 dont need much room to run

police will ony except the video footage of there time and date stamped
so be carefull when editing security footage

im not sure but i think you are meant to put a sign in a window or on the wall stating that there is 24/7 security cameras fitted
